Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A friend and I spent a week in Havana, and used Locally Sourced to book a Rooftop Cooking Class, which went well beyond our expectations. From the market visit to purchase our supplies, to cooking, talking, sharing, preparing and finally eating our lunch, everything was spectacular! Each and every person leading this event were engaging, friendly, informative, and professional. What an exciting day for us! Perfect in every way!

We just returned from an amazing tour of Havana with our wonderful guide Sady !! The trip exceeded all expectations. They answered so many questions before we arrived so we felt comfortable during the whole planning phase. Our plane was an hour late but we were promptly greeted at the airport and walked through customs while they reclaimed our luggage. We were taken to the amazing Voya Hotel - WOW !! it was 5 stars plus !! We toured Havana over the next three days with Sady. She could not have been sweeter and more knowledgeable. We ate at wonderful restaurants, were taken on informative tours and were treated like royalty each and every minute !! We HIGHLY recommend Locally Sourced Tours and the delightful Sady !!

We were in Havana for 5 days to visit our daughter (who is studying there for a semester) and had not really planned on leaving the city. But we decided at the last minute to see if we could take a day trip out of the city on the day that she did not have any classes. We reached out to Locally Sourced Havana Tours, and on very short notice they arranged for a private day tour with an English-speaking guide to Las Terrazas, El Salto waterfall, Soroa Orchid Garden and Cafetal Buena Vista.
The experience was wonderful. We enjoyed getting to know our guide Lisbeth and driver Norberto and the opportunity to see the Cuban countryside. Having an English-speaking guide allowed my daughter to take a break from being our translator and we all appreciated that. We’re so glad we ventured out of Havana. The lush mountains are beautiful and we even saw 3 tocororo (Cuban National bird).

We had a fabulous time exploring some of the sights Cuba has to offer. Habana was exciting, Vinales was beautiful and full of vibrant bars and restaurants. Overall food was good, especially seafood. What a great experience, enhanced by our wonderful guide Carlitos. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, was great fun to be out and about with, and communicated his passion for Cuba. We will highly recommend this tour, and Locally Sourced as a Tour that is highly responsive, reasonably priced and making the effort to be sustainable and truly assist the Cuban people.

We took Locally Sourced’s 10-day “Vivacious Cuba” tour in February 2024. Frank, our guide, was an utterly awesome, and went above and beyond what we expected. Frank was knowledgeable, courteous, funny and sweet. He speaks excellent English and has great people skills. We did all the things on the official itinerary, as well as some unexpected side excursions that were absolutely delightful. One of my favorite things was that Frank made the driving times between destinations really fun. Early in our trip he had us make a list of the things we were interested in learning about Cuba. Each of the seven of us in our group listed several items. So, instead of tedious drives, Frank would pick a topic or two and he would teach us about Cuban history and art, rum, beer and cigar making, agriculture, the money system and more. Frank made sure our accommodations were comfortable, and was always concerned for our well-being and safety. Let me provide one example of his “above and beyond” effort. Two different smaller groups wanted to make evening excursions to a performance at a Havana nightclub. Frank helped them buy tickets and ordered a taxi to and from the venue. Frank took great care of our group and I highly, highly recommend Locally Sourced Tours and Frank as your guide!

I decided to celebrate my birthday with some friends in Cuba and after trying to research and schedule a week's itinerary on my own I decided to find some help to navigate my first trip to Cuba. I'm SO HAPPY I came across Locally Sourced Havana!! They are beyond easy to work with, incredibly professional, excellent, fast and very clear communication. Our guide Lianne is a gem! Very knowledgeable, super flexible, so very sweet and went out of her way to make the trip the most fun time. My friends are still talking about how much of a good time we had. Can't recommend this company highly enough!

We took a group of 30 Trinidad and Tobago nationals on a visit to Cuba and it didn't disappoint. Our guide Sady was wonderful, she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and catered to all our needs and went above and beyond. The experiences that we had were nothing short of magnificent! Cuba is easy going, the people and friendly, there was so much history to absorb, amazing views and countryside landscapes, rich in art and beautiful architecture! We would definitely recommend Locally Sourced Cuba if you're looking for an authentic, fun and stress free experience in Cuba!

Just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU, for the amazing tour we all received and the lovely Carlitos that we had the pleasure to spend our evening and following day with, he was so knowledgeable and we could not have had a nicer person showing us around the fascinating city that is HAVANA. We totally fell in love with the Cuba he showed us, some experiences stay with you for life and Havana will certainly do that. If we ever visit Cuba again we wouldn't hesitate to use your services, 100% recommend You were very patient with our requests and very quick to reply to our questions, both tours were EXACTLY as we asked, the restaurant that we went to for lunch was a stunning art deco design an provided an excellent menu choice. Carlitos is an amazing ambassador for Locally Sourced Havana Tours, his knowledge and his love of his Country was evident . So from us ALL and to yourself and to Carlitos and to Havana Tours – THANK YOU

We took a custom private tour. It was simply wonderful. !!! We were able to tweak the itinerary once we got a feel for the timing. This flexibility was a huge plus. Our tour guide Yosva was simply amazing! So smart, knowledgeable and a thoroughly enjoyable person. You are lucky to have him!

We highly recommend Locally if you are considering a visit to Cuba. Silvia was our guide for our tailor-made 8 nights/9 days trip from Havana to Port Jucaro to board a scuba diving liveaboard. Since our trip was atypical (not many people go to Jucaro), Dan was incredibly helpful in ensuring every detail was taken care of, ensuring we got the best out of our experience. We always received quick responses to our questions and found the pre-departure documents from Locally packed with helpful tips, leaving us feeling thoroughly prepared. Once our trip was finalized, we were provided with contact information for their local office and our guide, Silvia.
We can’t speak highly enough of Silvia. She was truly wonderful. Attentive yet respectful of our time and privacy, she ensured we received the best care possible everywhere we went. We felt very safe and well-informed under her guidance. Given the rarity of visitors to Jucaro, she personally accompanied us there and made sure we boarded the right boat on time. It's a pleasure to consider her a friend, and we hope to return to Cuba soon.

I would like to know how I can book it once he did that I have to do a tour and a vintage car in Havana at the port.

You can book a Havana tour or a Cuba tour that includes Havana (both include a classic car ride) directly from the Locally Sourced Cuba website. (Do a web search for it.)
But you could also easily arrange a city tour or classic car ride by asking your hotel or B&B (casa particulare) staff to help you after you arrive and check in. Almost any of these accommodations would be happy to arrange any tours for you.

Hi, was the visit to Tropicana part of the tour ? If not, how much is the ticket to Tropicana from the Tour Company ?

We did not do Tropicana. We eat in Old Havana at a local restaurant that our guide had recommended. I am sure the tour company would be able to arrange a Tropicana tour. They seem very fleixble with options.

Hi, we are interested in booking a private tour for 8 people. We are arriving January 3rd via cruise ship. Please send us some info. Does the tour meet the travel requirement of the U.S. government for Cuba? Price per person? Thank you!

yes, locally sourced tours meet all US requirements. They met us right across from the customs and immigration building in the piazza. It was an amazing tour, even though we only did a one-day tour. Lunch was included and was amazing and the afternoon in the classic US cars was fun. Ask locally-sourced tours for pricing for a private tour for the 8 of you. it might be a little more than the $90 per person that we paid, but would be nice. Also, since you are staying overnight, ask locally sourced tours what selections they offer for evening shows--tropicana show or a jazz bar in town. You go back to the ship after the tour for dinner, then go back out for the evening show, then back to the ship after midnight to sleep. Then, make the second day more low-key, sleep-in late, then leave the ship and casually shop for rum, cigars, and souvenirs or take a classic car (cab) to visit places that you saw during the tour and want to visit in more depth (like going to the top of Ambos mundos) or having a frozen daiquiri at La Flordita. Enjoy your holiday! You will love whatever Locally Sourced Tours arranges for you!

Hello Matthew,
We are going to Havana, Cuba 12/20 and it sounds like you had a great tour. Similar to what we are hoping for. Can you tell us who you booked with?

Company is called Locally Sourced Havan Tours. We booked online and paid with credit card. I believe the company is based overseas and not in Cuba which is why we were able to pay with credit card.

I am a little nervous about booking outside of Royal Carribean cruise but it seems I'll get a great deal more booking through Locally Sourced Havana Tours. Did you have any difficultly leaving the ship without one of their tours? I've cruised numerous times on Carnival and bought outside tours. But, with the visa thingy in Cuba, I want to be sure.

There was no problem at all. Just complete the RCCL Cuba form and get your visas when you’re boarding the ship.
The only thing is that RCCL will make you pick an option in the form that is not the correct one. But, besides this, no problems.

It is my understanding that it is the same company and they do offer multi day tours. The single day tour we did was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable, and quite savvy. Highly recommended!

Hi... Are the certified to use? Am asking because I am going on a cruise and was checking the paperwork and don't know if I can use them as the third party.

There was absolutely no problem using Locally Sourced Tours, and I highly recommend them. Please don’t let the cruise line intimidate you into purchasing one of their shore excursions, I can’t imagine that any of the excursions they offered would’ve been better than the one I received from Locally Sourced Tours. Just read their glowing reviews on TripAdvisor. We got a much bigger bang for our buck through LST!
